The paper uses zap-and-freeze electron microscopy to study synaptic vesicle dynamics in mouse and human brain slices, revealing conserved endocytic mechanisms.

The paper shows that chronic inactivity does not broadly affect action potentials in neocortical neurons but does in hippocampal neurons under specific conditions.

This study measures intracellular neuronal ATP changes during spreading depolarizations in cerebral ischemia models, showing ATP depletion under oxygen and glucose deprivation.

The paper measures the Ca2+ sensitivity of Syt1-triggered release in neocortical synapses and finds it has high affinity and cooperativity.

This study shows that LTP at layer 5 pyramidal neurons increases synaptic strength by increasing the number of fully-primed, slowly-recovering vesicles.

This study shows that KATP channel mutations in PV-interneurons disrupt gamma oscillations and cognitive function in DEND syndrome.

The paper investigates Ca2+-dependence of synaptic vesicle recruitment, priming, and fusion at cerebellar mossy fiber synapses, revealing distinct Ca2+ sensors for each step.

The paper reports direct recordings of presynaptic action potentials in neocortical boutons, showing differential broadening in excitatory and inhibitory neurons.

The paper investigates presynaptic homeostatic potentiation (PHP) in Drosophila melanogaster, finding that AZs compact rather than enlarge, increasing protein density without changing Brp copy numbers.

The paper identifies biophysical gradients in cerebellar granule cells that enable Fourier-like transformation of mossy fiber inputs and enhance spike-timing precision.
